@kaarme If it was real life, but it's a visual novel with a medieval esque setting, so most of the stuff that doesn't suit what the author wants can go to the nether
@Kaarme sorry to disappoint, but it is not like this... This is fluffy slice of life. Lydia is cute and almost everybody likes zak. As the relationship of lydia and the prince progress
they understand they are friends, they are not in love with each other, and he does acknowledge that lydia harbor fellings for zak, they even agreed that they will call this marriage off in the future, if any of them find someone they like... And most important of all, lydia's father are ok with zak. Zak came to the Duke to tell him she likes lydia and he was happy
@Karmichel What is not like what? I don't really care at the moment, they are just little kids. But since others commented on the possible love interest, I just thought to mention how a gardered and the daughter of a duke won't end up together without a miracle. I'm content with waiting for and reading the manga chapters. I won't touch any spoilers.
They feel like brother and sister rather than a future couple. I hope Zak can continue gardening and following his passion as he said. Becoming a noble would just ruin that, and their relationship feels less like a romance and more like siblings.
